Soybean Rust Phakopsora Pachyrhizi and P NationalNational PestPest AlertAlert Soybean Rust Phakopsora pachyrhizi and P. meibomiae Distribution and Transmission Two fungal species, Phakopsora pachyrhizi and P. meibomiae, cause soybean rust and are spread primarily by windborne spores that can be transported over long distances. Asian soybean rust, P. pachyrhizi, the more aggressive of the two species, was first reported in Japan in 1903 and was confined to the Eastern Hemisphere until its presence was documented in Hawaii in 1994. Currently, dis- tribution of P. pachyrhizi includes Africa, Asia, Australia, Hawaii, and South America. P. pachyrhizi’s rapid spread and severe damage with yield losses from 10 to 80% have been reported in Argentina, Asia, Brazil, Paraguay, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. In November, 2004, the presence of P. pachyrhizi was confirmed in the continental United States. Seedborne transmission of the disease has not been documented, but there is some concern that seed lots may contain small amounts of infected plant debris capable of spreading the pathogen. To date, seed lots have not proven to be a pathway for the disease.

Individuals who are sampling for soybean rust may transport spores from one area to another on clothing. If clothing is exposed to spores, care should be Host Range taken to prevent the spread of soybean rust to uninfected locations. P. pachyrhizi is capable of infecting more than 90 species of legumes; however, the number of legumes infected in nature is un- known. Kudzu is widespread in the United States and could serve as a reservoir for the soybean rust pathogen. The broad host range of this fungal pathogen increases the likelihood of rapid spread once introduced into the United States. Symptoms and Disease Development Soybean rust symptoms are similar for P. pachyrhizi and P. meibomiae species. Symptoms begin on the lower leaves of the plant as small lesions that increase in size and change from gray to tan or reddish brown on the undersides of the leaves. Lesions are most common on leaves but may occur on petioles, stems, and pods. Soybean rust produces two types of lesions, tan and reddish Symptoms in non-tolerant (left) and tolerant (right) soybean brown.

  • Phakopsora Cherimoliae (Lagerh.) Cummins 1941
    -- CALIFORNIA D EPAUMENT OF cdfa FOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Phakopsora cherimoliae (Lagerh.) Cummins 1941 Annona rust Domain: Eukaryota, Kingdom: Fungi Division: Basidiomycota, Class: Pucciniomycetes Order: Pucciniales, Family: Phakopsoraceae Current Pest Rating: Q Proposed Pest Rating: A Comment Period: 12/07/2020 through 01/21/2021 Initiating Event: In September 2019, San Diego County agricultural inspectors collected leaves from a sugar apple tree (Annona squamosa) shipping from a commercial nursery in Fort Myers, Florida to a resident of Oceanside. CDFA plant pathologist Cheryl Blomquist identified in pustules on the leaves a rust pathogen, Phakopsora cherimoliae, which is not known to occur in California. She gave it a temporary Q-rating. In October 2020, Napa County agricultural inspectors sampled an incoming shipment of Annona sp. from Pearland, Texas, that was shipped to a resident of American Canyon. This sample was also identified by C. Blomquist as P. cherimoliae. The status of this pathogen and the threat to California are reviewed herein, and a permanent rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: The Phakopsoraceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The genus Phakopsora comprises approximately 110 species occurring on more than 30 dicotyledonous plant families worldwide, mainly in the tropics (Kirk et al., 2008). This genus holds some very important and damaging pathogen species including Phakopsora pachyrhizi on soybeans, P. euvitis on grapevine, and P. gossypii on cotton. Phakopsora cherimoliae occurs from the southern USA (Florida, Texas) in the north to northern Argentina in the south (Beenken, 2014). -- CALIFORNIA D EPAUMENT OF cdfa FOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ Annona is a genus of approximately 140 species of tropical trees and shrubs, with the majority of species native to the Americas, with less than 10 native to Africa.

  • Asian Soybean Rust Asian Soybean Rust Is a Serious Disease of Soybeans Caused by the Fungus Phakopsora Pachyrhizi
    U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory - Invasive Fungi Fact Sheets Asian soybean rust Asian soybean rust is a serious disease of soybeans caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Until recently this disease did not occur on soybean in the western hemisphere but it spread to South America in 2001 and was found for the first time in North America in November 2004. A second, similar-looking rust fungus, P. meibomiae, also infects soybeans but is much less virulent and occurs primarily in the western hemisphere. It is important to differentiate between these two rust species but this can only be done reliably using molecular techniques. Both P. pachyrhizi and P. meibomiae infect numerous leguminous plant hosts. Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & P. Syd., Ann. Mycol 12:108. 1914 Spermogonia and aecia unknown. Anamorph sori (Malupa-type) amphigenous, mostly hypophyllous, circular, minute, pulverulent, whitish becoming pale cinnamon-brown, scattered or in groups on discolored spots, subepidermal becoming erumpent, cone-like, 1-2 mm diam, surrounded by paraphyses, with a central opening; paraphyses cylindric to clavate, 25-50 × 6-14 µm, slightly thickened at the apex, colorless to pale yellowish-brown; anamorph spores sessile, obovoid to broadly ellipsoidal, 18-37 × 15-24 µm, wall 1-1.5 µm thick, minutely and densely echinulate, colorless to pale yellowish brown, sometimes pale cinnamon-brown in age; germ pores (2) 3-5 (-10), equatorial or scattered on equatorial zone, or occasionally scattered on and above the equatorial zone, usually inconspicuous.

The use of biocontrol agents offers an environment-friendly and sustainable solution to the synthetic agrochemicals. In this study, we investigated parboiled rice and millets as substrates for spore production of two model biocontrol microorganisms (Bacillus pumilus and Streptomyces griseus) under solid state cultivation (SSC) conditions. The effects of cultivation parameters such as initial moisture content, water activity, and cultivation time on microbial growth and spore production were studied. Furthermore, texture profile analysis was performed to test the stress and strain curve and the hardness and stickiness of the substrates. The greatest spore production occurred at 50% moisture content with millets as a substrate, yielding a count of 1.34 108 spores/g-wet-substrate enumerated with plate count analysis × and 1.70 108 events/g-wet-substrate using flow cytometry analysis.

E‑mail: [email protected] Abstract – Asian soybean rust, caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is the most severe disease of the crop and can cause yield losses of up to 90%. The disease was first reported in Brazil in 2001. Epidemics of the disease are common in the country, where the fungus can survive year‑round. Regulatory measures to reduce the inoculum between seasons and avoid late‑season soybean have been adopted to manage the disease. Disease control has relied mainly on chemical control, but a lower sensibility of the fungus to fungicides has been reported in Brazil. Major‑resistance genes have been mapped and incorporated into the cultivars. With the reduced efficacy of the fungicides, the adoption of integrated measures to control the disease will be important for the sustainability of the crop. This review presents the main changes in the soybean crop system caused by the introduction of the fungus in Brazil, the current management strategies adopted to avoid losses, and the new trends that, together with biotechnological strategies, can improve management in the future.
